Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Hillsboro, MS.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Hillsboro who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
